The problem we solve
Pointing Power BI at live operational tables creates blocking and surprise load. We design reporting objects—views, mart tables, or a read replica strategy—so Power BI can refresh without hurting the business system.
What you get
What ships in a focused first engagement—not a vague transformation promise.
- Deliverable 1: Workload assessment (live system vs reporting)
- Deliverable 2: Reporting object design (views or marts)
- Deliverable 3: Index recommendations with your DBA
- Deliverable 4: Advice on how Power BI should connect
- Deliverable 5: Sample Power BI model on the new objects
- Deliverable 6: Ops notes for maintenance windows
How it works
A realistic sequence with calendar time, assuming prompt access and stakeholders.
01
2–3 days
Capture the bad queries
Identify Power BI traffic that hurts the live system. Review with your DBA when wait stats are available.
02
1–2 weeks
Design the reporting layer
Create mart tables or views; agree how they get populated.
03
3–5 days
Repoint Power BI
Switch the model to reporting objects and prove refresh plus interactive load.
Practical details
The decisions that matter before the first report goes live.
- 01Management reporting usually works best importing from reporting tables—not querying the live order book all day.
- 02Shortcuts that ignore consistency confuse finance; we avoid them.
- 03Your DBAs own the instance; we design the reporting layer with them.
